Q&A: Help Finding a Princess Cut Diamond for Around $6,500 Budget

By Mike Fried,

I hope this message finds you well. I love Diamonds Pro, and I rely on your information heavily.

I was wondering if you can help me. I am looking to buy a princess cut engagement ring here in the next couple of months.

I am looking to get the diamond between 1-1.3 carats with the most ideal cut as possible. I am looking to buy from either Blue Nile or James Allen. I don’t really have a set budget, but I do not want to spend more than I have to if that makes sense.

If you are able to help me that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your time.

Best.

What do I think?

I think you are a huge huge help. Those diamonds are absolutely perfect and you just made my life a lot easier. Thank you so much.

Thank you for the kind words! Let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with.

Will do, thanks!
